GSE: Tracker

Meters · Assisted Highlight · Action Tracker · Quality of Life

A clean, highly-customizable combat overlay for sequence & macro users — sequence tracking, an assisted-rotation highlight, a center marker, and a full built-in meters suite, all in one addon.

Integrates natively with GSE when available, and also works with Single-Button Assistant and plain manual keypresses.

⚠ SETTINGS RESET ONCE ON MAJOR UPDATES

A major update resets GSE: Tracker to a fresh, curated default layout one time — your old settings are replaced on first login, then everything saves normally again. No manual reinstall needed; just re-apply any personal tweaks afterward.

Overview

GSE: Tracker gives you a cleaner, more customizable way to see what your macros are doing in combat — then adds the awareness tools you'd otherwise need three separate addons for. Everything is configurable from one settings window with live previews.

Tracker Options

Option Access: in-game Options panel · /gsetracker · minimap button.

Option Group	Description
Unlocking	Native Edit Mode integration with example live previews (drag or arrow-key nudge)
Performance Mode	Drops visual effects & animations for maximum FPS
Meters	Details window, DPS/HPS/GCD readouts, Center Marker, combat timer
Assisted Highlight	Highlight mode, anchor, and target settings
Action Tracker	Full layout, scaling, and visual control
Adaptive Icon Borders	Adaptive borders across the Action Tracker, Center Marker, and Assisted Highlight
Fonts	Sequence, Modifier, and Keybind fonts, with outline (SharedMedia supported)

Looks Like Your UI

The tracker adopts your action-bar skin automatically — borders, masks, and fonts are pulled live from your skinner, so it never looks bolted-on (or force Blizzard-native):

Core Features

Meters

A self-contained damage/utility meter set — no second meters addon required.

Feature	What it shows
Live readouts	Lightweight DPS, HPS, GCD swipe, and Single-Button Assistant usage — with an adjustable refresh rate
Details window	Damage / Healing / Dispels / Interrupts tabs, expandable pet & spell grouping, last-10-fights session paging (title-bar arrows), and a docked combat timer
Drill-down	Right-click any row to break down that specific combatant
Skinned breakdown	Class-coloured bars with your font (SharedMedia) and bar texture; the window is resizable, movable, and pinnable
Meter source	Use the built-in GSE: Tracker Skinner, Details!, or Blizzard's meter details
Center Marker	Find your character during busy, movement-heavy encounters — selectable symbols (crosshairs, faction, class/spec, or your own image), size, colour (incl. class colour), show-when rules, and Press Detection that pulses on input

Assisted Highlight

Anchor Points: Screen · Mouse Cursor · Target Portrait

A flexible rotation-assist highlight that mirrors your suggested next ability wherever you want it — anchored to the screen, following the mouse cursor, or shown over the target's portrait (auto-sized and rounded to match). Optional keybind + stack/charge count, range checking (red-tints when out of range), and a GCD swipe — plus adjustable size, opacity, border, and class / custom colour.

Action Tracker

Tracks the spells your sequence/macro fires and shows them as a clean, fully-configurable row of icons.

Option	Description
Live preview	See every change instantly while you configure
Independent elements	The Sequence / Macro / Spell name, modifier keys, and keybind can each be toggled, resized, and repositioned on their own (incl. Swap Name ⇄ ModKeys)
Free movement	Drag any element anywhere, or set precise X / Y values
Layouts	Horizontal or vertical — vertical adds per-icon spell names beside each icon (class-coloured) — with adjustable icon count and spacing
Scroll Direction	Left, Right, Up, or Down
Scale	Scale the whole tracker (icons + text); matches your action bar at 1.00
Auto-fade	Names fade out a few seconds after you stop casting — in or out of combat

Input & Sequence Awareness

Modifier tracking — shows which modifier keys (Shift / Ctrl / Alt, side-aware) you're holding.
ModKey burst stack — abilities fired while holding Ctrl/Alt stack into a centered combo display.
Keybind display — optionally shows the key bound to the active sequence.

Quality of Life

Feature	Description
QoL extras	Mute spell-fizzle sounds, hide red error text, account-wide or per-character settings
Rotation Matching System	A proc-style glow flashes on the centre of the action-icon scroll when your cast matches the Assisted Highlight suggestion. Shows an AH Match % readout (plus the share that came from the Single-Button Assistant), with an optional audible alert on a match for visually-impaired users.
Pressed Indicator	Customizable shape (crosshairs, dots, faction icons, or your own image) that pulses in sync with how fast you're pressing — choose None to hide it.

Compatibility

All versions of World of Warcraft — Retail and Classic (Mists of Pandaria, Burning Crusade, and Era).
Note: some features may be greyed out if they aren't available in your current game version.
